Sights & Activities
Glastorvet
CRAFT STUDIOS
If you're interested in crafts, there are a number of pottery and handicraft shops dotted
around town, and at Glastorvet in the town centre there's a workshop where you can watch
glass being melted into orange glowing lumps and then blown into clear, elegant glass-
ware.
Svaneke Kirke
CHURCH
You'll find some interesting period buildings near Svaneke Kirke, a few minutes' walk
south of Svaneke Torv, the town square. The watermelon-hued church, home to a rune
stone, dates from 1350, although it was largely rebuilt during the 1880s.
Windmills
HISTORIC BUILDINGS
The easternmost town in Denmark, Svaneke is quite breezy and has a number of wind-
mills. To the northwest of town you'll find an old
post mill
(a type of mill that turns in its
entirety to face the wind) and a
Dutch mill
, as well as an unusual three-sided
water tower
designed by architect Jørn Utzon (of Sydney's Opera House fame). On the main road 3km
south of Svaneke in the hamlet of
Årsdale
, there's a working windmill where grains are
ground and sold.
